Joani & David's Travels: Monday, March 19, 2018, Move to Clanton, AL

We left the FMCA rally at Perry, GA this morning. The smell of diesel was in the air as several hundred RV'ers fired their engines up. We got an early start, 8:15, and hoped to miss the predicted torrential rainstorm headed our way. About half of our 213.0-mile drive (85,648.1 total) was on back roads and a half was on Interstate highways. It was foggy for a lot of the drive, but we never encountered any more than a light misting rain. Joani arranged for a week's stay at Yellowhammer RV Sales & Campground on I-65 north of Montgomery, AL and south of Birmingham, AL. The park was 2 miles from Clanton, but then that probably wouldn't mean much without a detailed map.

There was a nice little lake with a trail that Sam and I walked several times daily. Part of the trail loop took us beside some of the Yellowhammer's new RVs (which I looked through). I read someone's post on Facebook and could not agree with it more - "Happiness is looking at new RVs and realizing there is nothing you like better than your own."

There was a wood carver somewhere nearby. The remains of a very large tree was fashioned into a collage of many RVs of all types. The pictures below did not capture it as well as I would have liked, but you can make out a few of the travel trailers, a fifth wheel trailer, a motorhome and even a motorcycle. I think the project was not finished but, it looked like the artist was taking a long break based on the weathering of the wood.
